A close-up including of one of the dark spots at the center.
I think the variegated-purples skein at the end was a bit too much purple, although it was a good transition from the red (and I needed the extra length and I knew Kathryn didn’t have a second bag of Anniversario in that weight.) The mostly-red skein was definitely a sharp transition from the green-purple–maybe I should have alternated pairs of rows of those two for awhile.
I like the purl side better because of the way the purl bump colors play with their mates, definitely a different effect from the front (see the in-progress photo at the top).
All along my eyes have proclaimed this my Northern Lights project because what else could this be?
Ain’t happening.
Some notes on the yarn: I was trying to arrange the skeins in a symmetrical pattern
Definitely a fun afghan to curl up with. And warm. Not sure I’d do it again exactly like this one but I’m glad I did it.
